Built between 1891-93, this is a standard R\u00e9seau Breton village station house, located on the line between Guingamp and Carhaix-Plouger in central Brittany, north-west France. This line, and the one between Guingamp and Paimpol, on the Armorican coast, are the only remaining sections of the rail network that once ran from Morlaix in the north down south to Rosporden, and from Camaret on the east Finistere coast across to La Brohini\u00e9re in the east, making it, in its day, the largest metre-gauge network in France and one of the most important secondary rail networks in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The line was closed and the house sold off in 1967. The house became dilapidated but the original features of the station, its waiting room benches, the ticket window and freight store weighing scales, remain intact. The yard was transformed over time from a bare, gravelled space to a beautiful, wooded garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
